Problem with Titanium Backup - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

It seems like ever since the update to 2.3.6, I've been having problems with Titanium Backup not being able to restore system apps. (the ones with the orange smiley face).
I've tried installing an older version of TB and still have the same problem. This has happened on stock/rooted and custom roms.
Has anybody else had this problem? If so, have you been able to find a fix for it?

I'm having this problem too. Just stays at the restoring box.

Hey guys I'm pretty new to rooting and with androids ...... My question is what main files can I back up for my contacts , sms , email and passwords without having to backup 200 plus files and apps ....... Do I still back up stock apps even if the Rom already has the app ? Thanks in advance for ant input !

For email and contacts I would just sync them with gmail. Same thing goes with settings and maybe even passwords(not sure about that one)
Don't back up any apps, just the data.

Open Titanium Back-up>Menu>preferences>scroll down to troubleshooting settings>App processing mode>Auto, indirect.
Then back out of the app until home screen and then go about how you would normally restore your apps.

Tried that before trying an older version of TB and it didn't work.

[Q] Stupid n00b question.....

Hi All,
Sorry to bother you guys but I'm a very new and wet behind the ears HD user. Initially i had an Orange UK branded HD but wanted to get rid of the Orange rubbish so ended up downgrading and installing Leedroid_HD_V2.2.3 which Ive been running for a month or so, i love the ROM and have it exactly as i want it.
Now my question is this;
Ive recently seen that theres an updated Leedroid ROM out (V3.0.0 GB) and id like to upgrade to it, is there any way of 'ghosting' my current setup (apps/widgets/settings) so that i don't have to go through the hassle of installing and configuring to get it back to how id like it ?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Dave.
You could use Titanium Backup, but not recommend as your restoring between different builds. Also my backup root has capability to restore system settings, sms, apps, data etc.
I was in the same situation today, just downloaded all the apps fresh, and setup how I like. I only restored data to a couple games, not to any system app.
Ok, took a little while, but will save a lot of hurt later on with force closes etc.
After setup, just make a fresh titanium & nan-backup cwm for GB.

please write the name of the thread concretly and making reference to your problem next time.. thx buddy!!! i think that it is not a stupid question.
EDIT: IF you enable the security backup of your google account,your app list is going to auto-restore when you initialize your new rom the fist time...
the user data,etc.. not recomened restore it if you go from froyo to gingerbread like upintheair said.

Me too. I'm with miui rom MIUI_Au v4 2.1.27 on a HTC Desire and Titanium Backup says "restore is complete" but in fact no ! No apk restored ! I don't understand....
@dan281082 : please tell us if you have some news.
Are you trying to restore across ROM versions? Different versions of Android have different database implementations. You could try switching on the 'Migrate databases across incompatible ROM versions' version

[Q] restore apps from market after full wipe

Hi all I got this problem and it happened only once that after a full wipe, my apps has been reinstalled by theirself when i booted up for 1st time.
now it is not happening anymore and when i do full wipe, i have to remember all the apps io downloaded and reinstall them again.
is there a solution? dont tell me to use titanium bck please cos android should do that automatically! thanks
i looked around on found this, same problem different "phone" but none solutions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117511
What ROM were you on and what were you going to? I've found if you've wiped and got to a new build (e.g. 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) then it doesn't automatically do it
thanks for answering!
Im using AOKP, 21 before and now 22 (403), always used this after the stock rom, with AOKP have never been restored :/

ok thank u if this is the only way to fix then i will
I think it has something to do with your Google account. I have the same problem and it was ages ago the phone auto installed my market app. I do change rom quite often and i do not like TB to restore apps.
In your goggle account, I don't remember exactly where you can se a list of your devices and their apps. Same device can show as different ones in your account probably due to different build.prop or something like that.
So my theory is that you can only have a limited amount of devices with auto restored apps. Or Google doesn't recognice your device as the same one after you have flashed it with some custom rom.

Google auto backup/reinstall of apps

Hello all,
I remember something about google automatically backing up all my apps when I first set up my phone and/or market access. I have also heard of apps being automatically reinstalled after members on this board have flashed new roms and wiped all data. I have never had this happen to me but it would be super convenient.
Is there anything I can do to activate that feature?
Thanks.

Yep install a aosp ROM .... cm9 aokp codename miui etc
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
if you are not running a cyn mod or AKOP, I suggest you use Titanium Backup to rip the apks into an archive where you can reinstall them if anything happens.
Thanks both but I installed cm9 and that didn't happen. Any ideas?
I've been a little confused on the exact procedure myself, and have felt super lucky when it just...works. lol
I do know this: if your on a gingerbread rom or even ics, once you let the market update to Google play after a wipe/flash, log in to your Gmail, press menu>my apps> slide over one pane and you will see every app you've ever downloaded under that Gmail. I found apps from like 2009 lmfao

[Q] Can't restore Whatsapp Chats properly

Hello XDA Community,
i recently flashed a new rom to my mobile and wanted to restore my apps as
usual containing whatsapp as well. Everthing went well except whatsapp. I
tried to restore whatsapp with Titanium Backup, MayBackUp Pro and the
build-in restore function of whatsapp of course too. I tried every possible
copy and paste solution i could find on the internet but nothing helped.
The result was always the same the only thing which was restored were the
group chat names nothing else all my chats are gone.
I tried all suggestions from this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268031 but nothing helped.
I switched from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151765 to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031467.
Please help me to find a solution. Thank You
Do you have the following folder on your sd card?
sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases
The chat backups should be stored in there. I've successfully uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and restored all the chats successfully before.
Yes i have the folder there otherwise i weren't able to use the restore function of whatsapp.
I reinstalled it dozen times but always the same result. Groupchat names visible but empty and all single chats are gone.
Thank u for ur reply
Check the files within that folder, open them up within a text editor or something, just to check they're not corrupted.
Instead of restoring app+data from Titanium Backup, clear app data then uninstall WhatsApp. Then try installing the app fresh from the Play Store first.
Open it and set it up fresh, hopefully will ask to restore the conversations by itself. Afterwards, restore data only with Titanium.
I tried what u suggested but it didnt work. I installed WA fresh from the Market set it up and after that i restored the data with titanium backup. When i start WA after this procedure WA told me the Database is corrupted and asked me if i want restore from sd-card but it doesnt matter if i press yes or no the result ist still the same. WA Groupchats restored but empty and single chats missing.
Thank u for ur reply
Hmm if it's telling you it may be corrupted, then unfortunately the database may be corrupted.
In the Databases folder, can you rename the msgstore.db.crypt file to something else, then rename another slightly older database msgstore.db.crypt-2013-08-XX to msgstore.db.crypt. Then uninstall and reinstall from Play Store again?
I'm hoping it's just the latest file which is corrupted, and the others backups are ok. You may not get all the messages back, you might lose a day's worth of messages if this works. Sorry if you've already tried this too, running out of ideas
Yes i tried this too. So i wanted to prove if the Backups are really corrupted. I installed another ROM (euroskank) and installed whatsapp through the playstore and restored all messages during the validating process. Viola 27.000 messages restored. So now i have absolutly no idea what i can do to solve it and restore it on the ROM i want.
Anyway Thanks for ur help

Hah you wouldn't believe me, that was going to be my next suggestion, restore an old nandroid or new ROM to see if it works. I didn't think it would work because it still has to refer to the files on the SD card, independent of ROM. Glad it's definitely not corrupted though
So once it's installed and working on euroskank, make another manual backup.
Then try Mildwild again, install WhatsApp from scratch, it really should work, finger's crossed!
So finally i could test it. AND it didn't work. Still the same problem. Thats insane. I tried even a previous version of the rom to test if it's caused by the latest one but no got the same result.
Thank u for ur help i appreciate it.

That is insane, that it works with one rom and not the other. Try asking in the ROM thread to see if anyone else has WhatsApp issues?
I'm out of ideas, sorry, hope you get it sorted somehow!
I already did and unfortunately i got no reply till now and nobody got the same problem before. So i am the Columbus here in a bad way. I messaged the developer on xda and Facebook today, i hope he will reply.
Nevermind i thank u alot for trying to help me. You were the only one who at least tried it.

The solution that worked for me...
Hi I was having the same problem as you and also couldn't find anyone who had the same issue. Anyway I was moving from a gingerbread phone to a jellybean phone. So I used a backup app called Super Backup. I tried numerous things that didn't work. This is what I did that did work.
Also backup up your backup before you start.
1. On new phone uninstall whatsapp, then delete the whatsapp folder on the internal storage.
2. Restore whatsapp from backup app.
3. Before you run whatsapp delete the whatsapp folder on the internal storage again.
4. Copy the whatsapp folder from the sd card to the internal storage.
5. Run whatsapp.
Let me know of this works for you. It did for me.
Thanks.

Hi, i have the same problem when doing the same trasition from gingerbread and runnymedemod007 transition to the MildWil 14 AOPK version,
Whatsapp finds my backup and askes for restoring, but after resoring there are no messages.
when i install the old Sense rom again i can do a restor and all messages are there...
Did you ever find out how to mak it work?
thx.
Unfortunately i didn't solve it. I settled without restoring the messages. You can try what Nicadini suggested.

Tried everything in the thread here and even restoring complete backups of the previous ROM (what works when trying to use whatsapp on a WIFI only tablet) but that doesn't even work.
I think it has something to do with the encryption in the ROM i guess or the way it stores the Phone number, as Whatsapp only wants to restore a message database for the same Phone number...

That can't be the case. If I remember right my phone number was the same as the stored number in wa that day. But if its a crypting problem of the rom u better contact the autor of it. Sry that i cant do more to help you. It got out of my hands.

I think it has to be something like that, because just as you i have made the same transition from gingerbread to MILDWILD 14 Rom, and the problem only seems to be with the WILDWILD Rom.
any other rom that i have tested, the internal restor of whatsapp works like a charm.
So the only thing that can cause the problem is the framework/UI from the Mildwild roms.
I've written to the Dev.from WILDWILD to ask assistence, but so far no reaction.
Tonight i'm going to test a few other MILDWILD Roms to see if the problem is with all the MW roms or only with the 14

UPDATE:
I tried all the other WildWild MOD Roms yesterday and the problem only seems to be with the MW-14 Rom.
With all other Roms the WhatsApp restor works perfectly.
So for now i'm going to stay with the MW CM-8 version and try to Mod that myself a bit.
Seems to be very stable and fast, Also more options in the Camera Settings and i like the ICS look.
Only downside are the quicksettings (i like them more from MW14 or Sense)

Hi,
Sorry i have to dig this thread out, as i need help. Im also facing the same problem, trying to restore my backup file from old samsung S3 phone onto my new samsung note3 phone. I believe maybe somehow, by now, you have figured it out. I need help here. All my single chat history cannot be restored.
The backup file in the database doesnt seem corrupted. I went through a conventional whatsapp restore by pasting the file in the whatsapp database folder and launch the whatsapp after installation and restore. But still, no single chat history. Only group chats.
